Abstract
Diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer by various imaging studies is often difficult because a recurrent tumor can resemble scar tissue or postoperative changes. This article reports how an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was used to obtain a tissue diagnosis of locoregional lung cancer recurrence, which changed the management of the patients.
